Re: What is the underlying algorithm in RAND_bytes() function?
Can you help me with changing the default MD from SHA1 to SHA256(for Hash DRBG)? I could not find proper resource. -- View this message in context: http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/What-is-the-underlying-algorithm-in-RAND-bytes-function-tp50089p50122.html Sent from the OpenSSL - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing Listopenssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
What is the underlying algorithm in RAND_bytes() function?
I am using RAND_bytes function to generate cryptographically secure random numbers. I want to know if it uses Hash based DRBG or HMAC based DRBG. If it uses Hash based DRBG what is the underlying hash function used? I looked at the source code and found that it uses some MD function but I could not find which MD it is using. -- View this message in context: http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/What-is-the-underlying-algorithm-in-RAND-bytes-function-tp50089.html Sent from the OpenSSL - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing Listopenssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org

The default builtin one is a hash based DRBG. crypto/rand/rand_lcl.h ... the default MD is SHA1.
